I think that the article on its own is pretty well fleshed out, but the proposals that T'Maya is looking to add with provide substance and context to help readers understand the impacts of social media in politics. Her intention to update the structure of the article is necessary because there are a lot of subsections grouped together and while they read in a linear fashion, some of those sections could be broken up further for easier comprehension - especially for readers who know little about this subject. There are a few organizational/editing issues to update such as removing spaces between paragraphs such as under "as a public utility." Furthermore, adding policy and amendment efforts to regulate the use of social media in politics will be highly relevant. One thought that comes to mind is the conversation about Congress looking to ban TikTok on government devices and showing the pros and cons of that effort.

The "Effects on democracy" section is a bit long, and can read as a bit dense, I wonder if it may be a good idea to break that section up into smaller sections, and incorporate additional photos or graphics - with particular focus on the election subsections (which can stand on their own as its own heading). Especially considering the mobilization of social media usage under the Trump administration, that may warrant isolation into a standalone subheading under elections, because the intermixing with Brexit can muddy a reader's understanding a bit (though I realize that these two political phenomenon are linked).

All in all, T'Maya has a lot of great existing material to work with and her outline on proposed updates will help to bring about a more polished overview of the topic. There are 88 references listed, some links may need to be reviewed to ensure that they are still functional but many sources are from scholarly journals and primary sources.
